ORS goes Python: Easy Routing, Geocoding, Isochrones and Matrix Routing with Python: Openrouteservice-py now available on PyPi

The Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT.org) has finally developed a pretty handy python API for all of you pythoniasts out there. This library makes requests to the openrouteservice API extremely simple. With this you will be able to query the following services with a couple of lines of python code.

·      directions

·      matrix

·      geocoding

·      isochrones

To provide a quick and dirty example:

import openrouteservice
 
coords = ((8.34234,48.23424),(8.34423,48.26424))
 
client = openrouteservice.Client(key='') # Specify your personal API key
 
routes = client.directions(coords)
 
print routes
 
...

That’s it. Enjoy!

Find the sources on GitHub and install it via pip.
